This chart is my working chart for the $SPX. (And it gets worked....) One of the most interesting windows of the indicators currently is the OBV. During the 2011-2012 rally, the OBV ramped up with the market. On the current rally, the OBV has been significantly muted... Read More

I pulled up Crescent Point Energy today. This arc looks like a moon path moving across the south sky. It can also be called a rounded top. Crescent Point has started to make lower highs on the weekly chart, but still has some higher lows... Read More
